ベルギッシェスランドの湖・トップ20

The Great Dhünntalsperre, fed by the two springs of the Dhünn River, is the second largest drinking water dam in Germany after the Rappbode Dam

The Rotthäuser Bachtal has been under nature protection since 1984 and is designated as an FFH area. (FFH areas are areas that have been selected for the "Natura 2000" protected area system.) What is special about the valley are its wet biotopes, the stream that gave it its name, its springs, the numerous fish ponds and extensive reed beds. There are also valuable alder, ash and softwood alluvial forests as well as grove beech forests. This is how a diverse and varied landscape can be seen in a small area. Rare animal species such as reed warblers, reed buntings and kingfishers as well as dragonflies such as the "blue-green mermaid" can be seen in the Rotthäuser Bachtal. The plant world is also rich in species, including plants that are threatened according to the "Red List", such as the giant horsetail or the watercress.

Breathtaking view of the vast dam.

The view is beautiful, a great place to take a break

One of many beautiful views.

The circumnavigation of the Vorsperre is very varied. Due to the storm damage, not all paths are currently (02/28/2022) passable. However, there are ways to get past the fallen trees everywhere.

A beautiful old building. Possibility to rest is also available.

Nice view of the Sengbachtalsperre, which lies dark in the valley.
